Revlon Minted + Glitter!

Hi friends! Here is another polish I picked up in August from Walgreens! They were doing some Register Rewards thing where it was like $3.99 for one, but then they gave you a coupon for $3.99 off the next purchase, so you could use it on the next one and basically get buy one get one free! Well, I had a brain fart at the register and paid for the two Revlon's together, so I only got one coupon, and I should have paid separately then I would have gotten one free, and another coupon to use towards the rest of my polishes in a third purchase! Ok...I've watched too many couponing shows! Here is Revlon Minted!

The first coat looked terrible, but after a careful second coat, it was much better. I did three coats to achieve total opacity. This is a really pretty light mint green. I immediately think of my Essie Turquoise and Caicos when I try to think of a similar color in my stash, but when you look closely - they aren't really THAT similar. T&C is much more blue, though it too is a bright color in the teal/turquoise family!

Then, I decided to top Minted with OPI Sparkle Teal Sunrise, which was an Ulta exclusive shade from this summer. I remember Ulta was doing a Buy 2 Get 1 OPI free, so I picked up Sweet Memories and I Lily Love You, and got this free! I think I grabbed Funky Dunkey on clearance too that day!

I LOVE this combination! The teal base to the glitter changes it to a beautiful turquoise color! And of course the iridescent glitter adds a really nice sparkle!

What do you guys think?

Revlon Gold Coin

I had a big makeup haul at Walgreens yesterday - so excited!! For $25 I got a Covergirl blush and eyeliner, two Maybelline eye shadow quads, two Sinful Colors polishes, two Revlon polishes, a Sally Hansen polish, and a Wet n Wild polish! Yeah!! I had some coupons and they did some "register rewards" but anyways, I was happy haha!

Here is one of the Revlon polishes I got for $2.99, then got $3 in Register Rewards so it wound up being free! It's called Gold Coin and it's one of their metallic colors. A side note - the labels they use on their polishes are printed in a gold color so it was pretty much unreadable considering the nail color is gold....just a logistical thing but I notice these things since I can be detail oriented haha!

I used two coats here plus a Wet n Wild clear topcoat. For those of you who have Zoya Trixie, this is like her golden sister. Formula not quite as nice as Zoya but lovely color! If you happen to find this on sale I'd definitely recommend picking it up. Very pretty gold foil!

And of course I love sparkle so I thought, I have to see what this looks like with OPI Spark de Triomphe on top! I just did one extra coat, the sparkle is noticeable but mostly subtle. I'm sure in sunlight this would be lovely!
